Marina del Rey is 14.9 miles from the Avalon pin. Admiralty Way or Lincoln Boulevard toward the 405 south, then Avalon through the South Bay. Thirty to thirty-five minutes. The alternate is Washington east to the 405 south, then Avalon Boulevard. Maps pin 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.
The Marina is boats, high-rises and subterranean parking, and the cars reflect a specific set of conditions. A large share are convertibles or vehicles that spend real time with the top down on Admiralty and PCH, which is an open-cabin acoustic problem rather than a normal one. Another share are tow vehicles for the boats, where cabin noise changes entirely with a trailer behind. And salt air here is not a figure of speech — it reaches into door cavities and finds any terminal that was not sealed. The EV share is very high.
The Dual Kicker Comp loaded box is $249, box only, install quoted on the car. Everything else is priced on the vehicle — and on a convertible that is not a formality, because the acoustic load with the top down is genuinely different. Bring a link and online pricing gets matched on head units and install-only work. Text the year, make and model and say whether it is a convertible.
In an open cabin, placement decides everything and power is secondary. Drivers need to be sited where they still reach the occupants with the roof stowed, which often means relying less on doors and more on positions that fire upward. Staging gets set for top-down rather than top-up, because that is when the car actually gets used here. Terminals are crimped and sealed against salt. On the tow vehicles the microphone gets relocated so a call works with a trailer on. Albert integrates factory amplifiers. Enclosures prebuilt, matched, loaded, wired and sealed.
From Marina del Rey: convertibles of every kind, leased German and Japanese luxury, boat-tow trucks and large SUVs, and a heavy Tesla presence. Focal or Hertz in the closed cabins where detail is audible. Kicker where an open cabin needs genuine output to overcome wind. Kenwood eXcelon or Pioneer only where the dash should come out, which on the newer leases it should not.
The thing that goes wrong in convertibles is that they get tuned with the roof up because that is easier, and then sound wrong in the condition the owner actually bought the car for. Top-down is a different room — no reflections off a roof, far more wind, and a completely different bass load. The second issue is salt: an unsealed terminal in a Marina car will be green within two years, and that is a specification failure rather than bad luck.
With the top down on Admiralty the music actually reaches you and holds its image instead of blurring past. With the roof up it is still correct rather than boomy. Terminals stay clean through winters of salt air. And on the tow vehicle, a call with the boat behind you is intelligible — which is the whole point of a hands-free system on a launch day.
Admiralty or Lincoln to the 405 south, then Avalon — 14.9 miles, thirty to thirty-five minutes. Convertibles get tuned top-down, because that is how the car gets used. Sealed terminals for salt air. Dual Kicker Comp loaded box $249 box only, install quoted.
Same roof. Window tint is LA Car Tint at lacartint.com — 3M Authorized Dealer, hand-cut on a glass board with the micro edge to the gasket, which matters enormously this close to the water. Vehicle security is LA Car Alarm at lacaralarm.com — subterranean structures and dock parking are both specific risks, and glass-break sensing is the relevant answer. Tesla glass has its own site at teslatintla.com.
Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Walk-ins are fine; for a convertible or an open-cabin build call first, because placement is worth discussing before the car arrives. A Payment Plan is at the counter once the quote is real. Google shows 4.8 from 654 reviews.

No. There is no Marina del Rey location. LA Car Beats is the car-audio desk inside Audio MotorSports at 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745 — 14.9 miles away, and all work happens in that bay.
Admiralty Way or Lincoln Boulevard toward the 405 south, then Avalon through the South Bay — thirty to thirty-five minutes. The alternate is Washington east to the 405 south.
It should be tuned with the top down, because that is the condition you bought the car for. Top-down is a different room — no roof reflections, much more wind and a different bass load — and placement matters more than power.
It will if the terminals are not sealed. An unsealed terminal in a Marina car is green within two years. Crimped and sealed connections are a specification requirement here, not an upgrade.
The only published figure is the Dual Kicker Comp loaded box at $249, box only, install quoted separately. Everything else is priced on the vehicle, and on a convertible that genuinely matters.
Yes, and with a trailer behind you it is usually the most valuable change. The microphone gets relocated so your voice reaches it ahead of the engine and the trailer.
Yes, and the EV share here is high. No engine noise means nothing masks an install flaw, so the work has to be clean. Tesla glass and tint live separately at teslatintla.com.
Yes. Harnesses and integration modules only, nothing cut, so it comes out cleanly at turn-in.
Yes. A Payment Plan is available at the counter after the quote is real. Price first, decide second. Payment Plan is the only name for it.
Car audio, window tint, and vehicle security — plus Harley bagger audio on the AMS Pods side. Body work, wraps, paint protection film, and auto glass are other trades; we'll point you to someone good rather than guess.
